The city built by the ancestors of the Pope? You got me there (or do you
know something about the outcome of the next conclave? I wouldn't put
that beyond you...)

[I have this on April 24, but surely the impeccable gamemaster cannot
make such a mistake, so...]

Club Brugge hosts USG on April 24, but USG hosts Club Brugge on April
27. You get a 3 point penalty for doubting the gamemaster.

(Having said this, figuring out the schedule and/or results of the
Belgian playoff round is a bit of a nightmare, so I don't exclude that
there may be mistakes. Even USG's official website sells tickets for its
MD6 matchup against Brugge, but doesn't say when the match is: https://rusg.brussels/fr/nouvelles/ticketing-union-club-brugge-1

Fortunately, they are scrapping the playoff system starting next year
)

The dear deer or the beer bear? Royal Union
or Royal Association? I pick Juventus.
